Irony is so, like, ironic.

Fell's attorneys didn't contest his guilt, instead asking jurors to spare his life because he grew up in a violent household with alcoholic parents. No excuse. TFB bucko.

Lee died in prison of accidental hanging? How does one die of an accidental hanging?
To: Syberyenta
Yeah, don't you just hate when that happens?
"Oops, I almost died by hanging again!"

Umm, let's see. He accidently decided to tie a bedsheet around his neck, loop the other end around a ceiling pipe, and jump off a chair. I know, he thought his feet would hit the floor.

"Lee died in prison by accidental hanging in 2001"
This statement strains credulity. How on earth does someone get hanged, in prison ... by accident?
To: RWR8189
"The words are inadequate," Fell said, his voice barely audible in court. "I truly am sorry for my crime. What I did was horrible and wrong. I know the wounds will never heal. If it comes down to it in the end that I do die, I understand that it's no less than what I deserve. I truly am sorry." There's something you don't see everyday. A criminal accepting responsibility for his actions.
Wonder how long the appeals process will take, given Mr. Fell's confession and court room statement. I would think it shouldn't take long as the accused is not disputing the charge or the sentence.

It's was an accident when the prison guards on duty say it was accident, get it?

Maybe his fellow inmates meant to hang some other murderer? Oops.
To: RWR8189
The judge assigned the execution to be carried out in Indiana, the site of the federal Bureau of Prisons' death chamber, but said it could be moved to New York state, near where the crime happened. This execution will never happen. Liberal activists will fight this with money, time etc.
Meanwhile these same people will also fight for the right to kill unborn children till they die.

I just hope they don't take forever to kill him, even though I know they will.
Stomped her to death.....deserves nothing less than to die.

What that means is that trial judges are guided by appellate rulings. This judge followed the law and directions of the appellate court; he could not do otherwise.

accidental hangingThis shows why we need a new mainstream media that it takes itself a little less seriously.
I think we need The Monte Python Dispatch, where such a newsline would be properly edited to read:
accidental [wink-wink, nudge-nudge] hanging.

I've read that oxygen deprivation can enhance the "experience," but with his neck in a noose? How did he plan to get down? I guess if he was good at envisioning the consequences of his actions, he wouldn't have been in prison in the first place. But, I still think "accidental" is a stretch.
